As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

The low roar was like a roar from hell, and the sound waves shook everyone's eardrums, making them dizzy.

The light in the center of the formation became more and more dazzling, and the frequency of flickering became faster and faster, like a star about to explode.

The invisible pressure was like a giant hand, tightly strangling everyone's throat, making breathing difficult and the air seemed to solidify.

The ancient book in Su Yushi's hand was rustling in the strong wind. His face was pale and his lips were trembling, but he still stared at the pages, trying to find a way to decipher it.

Xiaoxuan held Ding Chen's hand tightly, her knuckles turning white and her eyes filled with worry.

General Lin gripped the long sword tightly in his hand, his eyes sharp as torches, watching everything around him vigilantly.

"We need...we need to inject pure internal energy into the center of the formation in order to suppress the evil spirits and start breaking the formation!" Su Yushi's voice trembled and was almost drowned out by the roar.

"I'll do it!" Ding Chen stood up without hesitation, the true energy in his body surging, ready to forcibly inject it into the center of the formation.

"No!" Xuanyuan Che grabbed him and said, "Your internal strength is the purest. Save it for fighting the final evil. I'll do it!" He said as he was about to step forward.

"Brother Xuanyuan, you are seriously injured and it is not advisable to force yourself to use your internal energy!" Ding Chen refused to give in.

General Lin also stood up and said, "Young heroes, please stop arguing. I am an old man with bones. Let me do it!"

The three of them were deadlocked. Xiaoxuan was extremely anxious when she saw this. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, "Wait! Maybe... maybe I can do it!"

Everyone looked at her, and Xiaoxuan explained, "Although I'm not proficient in formations, my medical skills can guide internal energy, so perhaps I can activate the formation at a lower cost."

Everyone's eyes lit up. This was indeed a feasible solution.

Xiaoxuan sat cross-legged, formed seals with her hands, and a gentle internal force slowly flowed out and was injected into the center of the formation.

The light of the formation gradually stabilized and the roar gradually weakened.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was about to be resolved, Ying Feng's face suddenly changed and he growled, "Not good! This formation..." He suddenly raised his head and looked into the depths of the formation, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

Ying Feng's words came to an abrupt end, and he flashed and disappeared directly into the formation.

Everyone was horrified. Before they could react, they saw the light of the formation suddenly change. The originally dazzling light quickly dimmed until it disappeared completely.

The heart-pounding roar also stopped, and the oppressive feeling in the air dissipated instantly.

"Shadow Wind!" Ding Chen exclaimed and was about to rush into the formation.

"Wait!" Xiaoxuan grabbed him and said, "Although the formation has disappeared, we still don't know what's going on inside."

At this moment, Yingfeng walked out from the center of the formation. His face was a little pale, but his expression was unusually calm.

"It's all right now," he said briefly.

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what had happened.

"What's going on with that formation?" General Lin couldn't help but ask.

Ying Feng smiled faintly, "That formation is not meant to trap us, but to seal..." He paused, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Ding Chen, "An ancient demon god corrupted by evil forces."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently, and a powerful evil aura gushed out from the center of the formation.

A huge figure slowly emerged, with scarlet eyes, a ferocious face, and a suffocating aura of oppression emanating from his body.

"Roar--" The demon let out a deafening roar, and slammed his huge fist into the ground. The earth cracked instantly, and gravel flew everywhere.

"Not good!" Xuanyuan Che's face changed drastically, "Everyone be careful!"

Xiaoxuan immediately used her medical skills, and silver needles flew around, forming light curtains that interfered with the demon's vision.

General Lin and Xuanyuan Che attacked from both sides, their long swords and long knives turned into two streams of light, piercing the demon's weakness.

Shadow Wind wandered around the demon like a ghost, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Ding Chen faced the enemy head-on. He pushed his internal strength to the extreme and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the demon.

The battle lasted for a long time. Every attack of the demon god carried the power to destroy the world, and everyone was in danger.

Ding Chen had several wounds on his body, but he still did not retreat, with a raging fire of war burning in his eyes.

Finally, under the joint attack of everyone, the demon god let out an unwilling roar, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a ball of black mist and dissipating in the air.

Everyone sat on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.

"It's over..." Ding Chen muttered to himself, looking at the sky gradually returning to calm, a feeling of surviving a disaster surged in his heart.

Yingfeng walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said meaningfully: "This has just begun..."

The celebration banquet was held in the imperial garden of the palace, with bright lights and a jumble of wine glasses and wine chips.

The emperor personally awarded medals to Ding Chen and others, praising their heroic deeds.

The people lined the streets to welcome him, throwing flowers and blessings to the hero in their hearts.

Ding Chen is gentle and elegant, Xiaoxuan is dignified and beautiful. Standing together, the two of them look like a perfect couple.

At the banquet, Ding Chen looked at Xiaoxuan affectionately, and mustered up the courage to express his love for Xiaoxuan in front of everyone.

Xiaoxuan blushed, but she responded to his love firmly.

Xuanyuan Che was named the National Protector General by the emperor for his contribution to protecting the imperial city. He was still cold and majestic, but there was a bit more joy in his eyes.

General Lin's heroic deeds were adapted into an opera and widely circulated among the people. He smiled heroically and accepted everyone's admiration.

Censor Su was highly valued by the emperor for investigating the truth of the formation incident and exposing the hidden conspiracy. He was upright and continued to serve the court.

Yingfeng was specially authorized by the emperor to become a special guard of the palace. He remained mysterious and silently guarded the peace of this land.

After the banquet, Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan strolled in the imperial garden. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them, adding a bit of romance.

Xiaoxuan snuggled gently in Ding Chen's arms, Ding Chen gently put his arm around her shoulders, and the two of them quietly enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

They recalled the hardships and tribulations they had gone through along the way, from their initial meeting, to fighting side by side, to sharing their hearts with each other today, and every detail was engraved in each other's hearts.

The air around is filled with strong love, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.

However, at this happy moment, something strange happened.

A crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a dark shadow slowly descended from it, carrying a heart-pounding evil aura.

The black shadow fell to the ground and turned into a man in a black robe with a ferocious face.

He let out a sinister laugh, breaking the silence.

"Do you think this is the end? The real game has just begun!"

As the black-robed man finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently. The flowers and trees in the imperial garden withered instantly. A powerful dark force swept over, enveloping Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan...
